Today was a RUN day.  

Although Saturdays are typically our long run days, many of us only did 3 miles at this morning’s group run.  We all had places to be [OSU game, wedding dress shopping and family plans!].  But 3 miles is better than nothing and we were happy to also try a new route.

Lan on the other hand, had her big 2-0 miler! 

Yes folks, TWENTY miles.  Only those who have run a marathon before can truly appreciate this magical number.  At this point, you’ve likely trained for several months.  You’ve done the hard work and long miles, suffered through the aches and pains, pushed through the ‘I don’t know if I can do this’ days, felt famished from not getting enough food, felt the highs and lows of training… and finally, today, you’ve conquered the hardest training run you’ll encounter before the BIG day.

She stuck to her plan and finished.

Three+ hours, countless songs and Honey Stingers later, she finished.

Proud of you girl, you’re an inspiration to all of us, on the trail, on the mat and just LIVING FIT!
